I finally got back to updating my netbook, |
2 |
in which I installed Gentoo a few months ago. |
3 |
I came across the packages 'acl' & 'attr', |
4 |
which are not installed in my regular desktop machine |
5 |
& for which 'equery d' showed nothing actually dependent |
6 |
('emerge -cpv' doesn't work with the earlier Portage in the netbook). |
7 |
So I uninstalled them & quickly discovered that Coreutils was borked; |
8 |
not only that, but 'emerge <anything>' fails |
9 |
because it can't find /usr/lib/libacl.so.1 . |
10 |
I downloaded the latest Stage 3 for 'i686' into my desktop machine, |
11 |
unpacked it in a spare dir & copied the resulting 'libacl' files |
12 |
to the netbook, recreating there the symlink 'libacl.so.1'. |
13 |
Now 'emerge' complains that the 'libacl.so.1' ELF header is invalid. |
14 |
|
15 |
The next step seems to be to unpack the whole Stage 3 tarball |
16 |
in the netbook's / dir & see what happens. After that, a full reinstall. |
17 |
|
18 |
No, my desktop machine doesn't need 'acl' for its more recent 'coreutils'. |
19 |
Yes, i know about 'busybox', but 'emerge' can't use that. |
20 |
No, I can't 'emerge --sync', which fails as above. |
21 |
Yes, I tried 'USE="-acl" emerge coreutils', which also fails as above. |
22 |
|
23 |
Any advice which might save me further time + anguish wb very welcome. |
